Detailed 3D Dental Imaging
Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is an advanced 3D imaging system that captures highly detailed views of your teeth, jaw, sinuses, and bone structures. Unlike traditional 2D X-rays, CBCT creates a full three-dimensional model, allowing for precise diagnosis, safer treatment planning, and truly personalized dental care.
What is 3D CT Imaging?
Traditional dental X-rays show small, flat sections of your mouth. In contrast, 3D CT imaging captures a complete, three-dimensional view of your oral and facial structures. This allows our team to:
- Visualize bone density and quality
- Assess the exact position of nerves, roots, and sinuses
- Identify infections or hidden areas of concern
- Design treatments that perfectly fit your anatomy
This advanced imaging empowers us to provide care that is not only precise but also preventive—helping us detect potential issues before they become serious problems.
Why We Use 3D CT Imaging at Luxe Dental Arts
Our Cone Beam Scanner plays a vital role in ensuring safe, effective, and biologically aligned dental care. We may recommend a 3D scan for a variety of diagnostic and treatment purposes, including:
- TMJ Disorders: Diagnosing and planning treatment for jaw joint dysfunction and pain
- Dental Implants: Designing custom surgical guides for exact implant placement
- Oral Surgery Planning: Mapping out extractions and surgical procedures with precision
- Root Canal Evaluation: Checking existing root canal-treated teeth for infection or bone loss
- Airway & Sleep Health: Measuring the oropharyngeal airway to assess possible obstruction or sleep apnea
- Post-Extraction Healing: Evaluating bone regeneration and identifying potential infection sites after extractions
